[Allen was having a very rough time of this transformation business. First he'd had to adjust to being much closer to the ground than before, including running on his hands...paws...whatever... and having a tail to deal with, and now he was facing the prospect of starvation if he didn't admit to himself that he had a problem he couldn't fix himself by going into that nearby town. Hunting had turned out to be a catastrophic failure.]
Ouch... owww...
[His feet hurt so much right now from so much running around, trying to figure out what on earth he was going to do now. After determining that this was no trick from the Millennium Earl or his family of Noah, he'd tried to resolve his basic problem of an empty stomach. One couldn't think on an empty stomach, of course.
The problem was, he couldn't hunt. Trying to pounce on stuff and slipping, getting his claws caught in stuff... the only thing he'd managed to gain was sharp rocks in the pads of his paws and a few scrapes, and now his muscles were all store from the sudden strain. How on earth could cats and dogs run around on feet like this?]
I'm so hungry...
[Picking his way down a slope, he cringed and winced as his paws reacted painfully to the uneven ground. He didn't understand how he'd gotten to be here, but right now, why he was here and how he'd gotten here was second to getting something in his stomach so he could at least think clearly.]
One minute I'm trying to avoid the Earl and Apocryphos, and the next, I'm... here. And I'm so hungry!
[At the bottom of the slope, he encountered other creatures. He wasn't sure how to answer their inquiries, feeling a bit distrustful of any altruism, and the discomfort wasn't helping his mood any. The combination of an empty stomach, sore feet and a state of confusion bordering on panic (after all, how was he going to get back to his regular form so he could continue walking forward toward his goal of ridding the world of the Earl?) was making him feel anxious and cranky. His normally-high threshold for pain was woefully low right now.]
Ouch.
[Well, at least he didn't have to worry about anyone he knew seeing him in this embarrassingly cute form. In a weird sort of way, he was glad Lavi wasn't around to see this. He'd never hear the end of it!]
